Buses Restored 2008 is the authoritative annual guide to the many road transport museums throughout the British Isles. Compiled by the National Association of Road Transport Museums, the umbrella organisation for museums involved in the field of bus and coach preservation, the new 2008 edition is certain to be extremely popular with enthusiasts.
The book is divided into sections dealing with museums which are normally open to the public, other collections of preserved buses and coaches, a section listing vehicles privately preserved by members of the British Bus Preservation Group, and finally a list of operators of heritage bus services around the country. The book also incorporates a representative selection of images portraying some of the best preserved vehicles on show.
The bus preservation movement has more of a local rather than a national profile. It is more dispersed and less well-known nationally than its counterpart on rails, the heritage railway sector. Information on some projects can be hard to come by for potentially interested members of the public to whom a collection of preserved buses can have as much appeal as any preserved railway. This makes the need for a publication such as this all the greater.
This is a detailed and accessible handbook packed with useful information for the road transport enthusiast; the essential guide for anyone interested in this field.
